Leading to the big D. Then their friends and relatives can buy up
all the cheap assets as they've supposedly done in Asia. Probably
forclosing on South America. They certainly have good ideas for devaluing
the dollar. In case there's any Arab money left in the
market.</font></blockquote><br>

</u></font><b>Sands shift under House of Saud<br>
</b> By Tina-Marie O'Neill<br>
Dublin, Ireland, 11 August, 2002<br>
<br>
The Saudi Royal family<br>
<br>
Age: King Fahd: 80; Crown Prince Abdullah: 78<br>
<br>
Appearance: Similar bearded appearance. Always dressed in traditional<br>
Islamic garb. Like ageing Saudi rockstars, they're rarely seen without<br>
heavy dark sunglasses <br>
<br>
Newsworthiness: <br>
<br>
Crucial in any US-led attack on Iraq, the unstable monarchy is clinging<br>
to power <br>
<br>
The United States is facing the potential nightmare that Saudi Arabia,<br>
its pivotal long-time ally in the Middle East, may not support an attack<br>
on Saddam Hussein. Last Wednesday Saudi foreign minister Prince Saud<br>
al-Faisal went further and told the United States its forces would not<br>
be allowed to use its territory as a base in the event of such a<br>
military campaign.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, the US had distanced itself from a leaked think-tank<br>
recommendation that the United States `target' Saudi oilfields and<br>
financial assets if the Arab kingdom doesn't do more to fight terrorism. <br>
